I am. Mutual respect and recognizing we both have our own ways of doing things is key. Having a sense of humor helps too!

Well that’s good to hear. It seems most married guys I talk to aren’t too happy.

A lot may be banter.

I sure am. When we were going to get married, I told her "Look honey, I don't drink, I don't gamble, I don't race cars, but I love guns and hunting. When I die, you will have a nice collection of fine guns that you can sell for good money. That is a lot better than having a drawer full of worthless bar receipts. If that is acceptable to you, lets get married." It worked. Still happily married to the same beautiful blonde for almost 55 years.

Yes sir, I am. We all have our moments and sometimes I briefly wish I were single, but when it comes down to it, I wouldn't trade my old nag for nothing. She is my bestest good friend and the only person in this world that I trust 100%.

Having been in jobs that required me to be clean-shaven most of my life, it feels strange to let my whiskers grow!

Sounds to me like a bunch of grumpy old grouches that don't really know what marriage is!

I handle the RENTAL INCOME and INVESTMENTS ..She does't say Squat about the trades or purchases I make....I actually show her my newly AQUIRED peices.....WE have worked Fine Like this for 48yrs...The trick is I DON'T USE FAMILY MONEY... My PROBLEM is keeping her up on VALUES....THEY HAVE CHANGED FAST. Be Safe >>>>>Wally

I was for 54 years until 3 months ago. She 's now waiting for me on the other side for our next hunt together. Elk, deer , bear (her black male squared 6-1/2 feet) and birds were a joy for her. If you have a wife that enjoys guns and hunting, you are the luckiest guy in the world. I'll never find another like her and at 76 I'm not likely to try. Appreciate what you have, an empty house is a lonely place.

this makes my heart ache for you sir. i can't imagine . pray i go first. selfish but there it is.

Beware of the mighty broom. They are terribly fearsome weapons in the hands of a hormone Helga.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. And I can understand for sure. It would be very difficult for me if I lost my wife. She is my bestest good friend.

Hoping the best for you.

I know what marriage is, that's why I'm divorced.

My wife talks a lot. We got stopped by the state police and the cop said "you have a taillight out". The wife said "I told him to fix it". Then the cop said "your license has expired". Sure enough the wife said " I told him about that". So I popped her across the mouth and said "shut up"' The cop said "does he do that often". The wife said "only when he is drinking".

Secret is marrying someone that is right for both. I found that one out the hard way my first go around. The one I have now is a keeper, and has been for 27 years. We get along fine Most of the time. Not so much whenever I buy two ML in one week.
